The first layer is divided into five areas from A to E, and as you go deeper into the layers, the number of divided areas will increase, and each area is divided into several regular exploration routes from 01 to 09.
Bai Ke stopped at the first floor. There were many new adventurers around him who had made the same choice as him.
But there are also powerful or experienced adventurers who go straight to Route A-01, which is the regular route that leads directly to the next level.
Bai Ke looked at the passages that extended in all directions around him, and the routes corresponding to these passages emerged in his mind. In the end, he chose a remote route with few monsters, which was also the route with the least new adventurers.
Walking into the passage, Bai Ke began the first adventure of his life. At this moment, his emotions were complicated, including nervousness, excitement, worry, and all kinds of emotions in his heart.
What he is pursuing now is not killing monsters to gain wealth. What he needs to do now is to adapt himself, a modern man who is accustomed to comfort, to fighting in the dungeon.
Although Bai Ke's skills and ability values have been raised to a higher level among new adventurers, there is no doubt that his mind and body are not matched now.
Now he needed to adapt himself to his current body while getting used to fighting, while also tempering his mind and strengthening his will.
Secondly, the stimulation of danger will definitely bring him tasks, and he can use these tasks to gain experience points, thus forming a cycle.
Bai Ke walked in a flat passage, which was about three or four meters wide and high. Even in places with a large height difference, there were stairs.
Obviously, this place is very suitable for new adventurers to fight, just like a novice village specially created to let new adventurers get familiar with the dungeon.
At this moment, Bai Ke's nerves were tense and he was always paying attention to any movement around him. In the dangerous dungeon, deadly monsters could appear at any time.
He cannot afford to be careless.
After an unknown amount of time, the dungeon seemed to have noticed the intruder Bai Ke, so it gave the invader its own response.

Bai Ke's enhanced five senses allowed him to detect subtle movements in the wall beside him. He immediately stepped back a few steps, drew his sword and assumed the most suitable posture for exerting force, observing the condition of the wall.
[Ding~ trigger serial tasks]
【Name: Monster Killer 1】
[Difficulty 1 Stars]
[Introduction: Please hunt down ten small monsters.] (Note: Don't die! Even small monsters are capable of killing lower-level adventurers.)
【Reward: 100 experience points. 】
qun⑨㈤0⒈8○⑨零9
【Do you want to accept this task? 】
The task was triggered. Bai Ke paid some attention to take a quick look, then directly chose to accept the task.
After doing all this, Bai Ke focused all his attention back on the wall. He was tense and energetic, ready to fight at any time.
click
As the cracking sound grew louder, cracks appeared on the wall. Finally, as the rocks collapsed, an earth spirit struggled out.
In fact, instead of calling it an earth spirit, Bai Ke prefers to call it a dog-headed man because this name is more vivid.
The dog-headed man has a head like a dog or a wolf, is a little over 1.5 meters tall, and attacks by biting and using his claws.
I have to say that the dungeon is really a magical place. The monsters born there directly skip the infancy and growth stages and are born as adults with impressive combat power.
Some people will be frightened and freeze when facing danger, while others will try to survive rationally and seize every opportunity. Obviously Bai Ke is the latter.
Faced with this expected scene of the monster, Bai Ke was not shocked nor did he lose his composure.
His highly tense nerves were triggered at this moment, and his reason made his body move immediately, using fighting and swordsmanship techniques.
There is a difference between treating humans and monsters.
However, as early as when he was building the fighting and swordsmanship framework, Bai Ke had taken into account fighting monsters, so in addition to fighting humans, he also added monster-related information to the framework.
So when facing monsters, his movements were smooth and continuous without any lag.
He sprinted forward, unsheathed the long sword at his waist in an instant, adjusted the angle of the swing, and swung out.
This knife was fast and accurate.
The blade turned into a graceful arc, slashing across the neck of the dog-headed man who had just landed and had not yet stood firmly. In an instant, the head was separated from the body, and a fountain of blood spurted out.
Bai Ke stepped back to avoid the splattered blood, but before he could react, as if in a chain reaction, three broken marks appeared on the front and back walls of the passage.
The next second, three gnolls were hatched out of the dungeon. They struggled to break free from the mother's body and were born.
At this moment, Bai Ke was attacked from both sides, with no way to escape.
Faced with danger, Bai Ke did not hesitate at all, because he knew that hesitation would lead to defeat. He instantly rushed towards the passage where there was only one kobold.
The long sword in his hand was raised high and then fell as he rushed forward.
Before the dog-headed man hit the ground, his head was chopped off by a knife. The hideous dog head fell to the ground and gradually turned into ashes, leaving only the body that fell from the wall to the ground.
At this time, the two dog-headed men in the passage behind Bai Ke had already been born, their scarlet eyes focused on Bai Ke, with only the desire to kill in their eyes, and an aura of tyranny emanating from their bodies.
"Roar!"
They let out low roars and, following their body's instincts, rushed towards Bai Ke one after another with their teeth and claws bared, wanting to enjoy the delicious flesh and blood.
Bai Ke didn't stop, he turned around and rushed towards the two gnolls. The short distance of more than ten meters in the passage was crossed in an instant and the two met.
Bai Ke took advantage of his height and long legs and kicked the dog-headed man in the front with all his strength. The dog-headed man flew five or six meters before falling to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose and struggling to get up.
At the same time, the last dog-headed man pounced ferociously. The next second, the dog-headed man was stabbed by the long knife from the eye socket, penetrating the back of the head. He became motionless in an instant, leaving only a twitching body.
Bai Ke tried to draw his sword but found it was stuck. He raised his foot and kicked the dog-headed man, then pulled out his sword. Then he walked to the dog-headed man who was kicked away.
Bai Ke looked at the dog-headed man who was bleeding from his mouth and nose but still struggling to get up. He kicked him to the ground again, raised his long knife and stabbed him down. The blade pierced the dog-headed man's heart, and then twisted it.
The dog-headed man's struggles gradually stopped, leaving only his body twitching due to muscle reaction and a pool of blood spreading under him.
He pulled out the long knife and swung it hard, and the blood on it flew out and splashed on the walls of the passage.
After doing all this, Bai Ke did not dare to relax his vigilance at all. He held the knife and looked around cautiously. After waiting for a long time, there was no other movement around.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself:
"This remote route actually gave birth to four new killers like Kobolds. It turns out that the Adventurer's Handbook cannot be fully trusted, or this is the sinister change of the dungeon."
Under the situation just now, if other new adventurers encountered this situation, there was a great possibility that they would fail in this newbie area.
Don’t think that Bai Ke solved the problem easily this time and that small monsters like the Gnolls are weak. Fighting one and fighting multiple are two completely different concepts.
And since they are called "newcomer killers", the strength of the gnolls is naturally not weak. They can fight on equal terms with ordinary soldiers who use cold weapons.
Just now, it was because of Bai Ke's quick reaction, rational mind, strong abilities and skills, and seizing the breakthrough point that the battle was resolved quickly.
If Bai Ke had hesitated for a moment, allowing the four ogres to be born and surround him, even if he could rely on his abilities and skills to defeat the ogres, he would at least be injured.
Bai Ke put the long sword into the scabbard, and then he set his sights on the monster's corpse. It was the first time he killed a monster. At the moment, he felt very strange, he didn't know how to describe it.
This feeling was just like when he bought a live chicken and killed it while cooking to celebrate his independence. Well, he enjoyed the potatoes and chicken very much afterwards.
The difference between the two is that one has no ability to resist and the other has the ability to resist.
This might be what it feels like to kill another creature.
Bai Ke neither likes nor rejects this feeling. He is not obsessed with it, nor will he refuse to deprive the monster of its life because of rejection.
Bai Ke shook his head to throw away the messy thoughts, and reason took over the high ground again. Then he began to clean up the battlefield and look for his spoils.
Magic stone, usually located inside the monster's chest.
However, this was his first time looking for the magic stone, and he was very unskilled. He used a dagger to cut open the kobold's chest, but did not find the magic stone, so he reached in to look for it.
The hideous corpses, the smelly blood, the warm and slippery feel, in short, collecting magic stones is a disgusting thing.
Bai Ke didn't feel anything when he killed the monster before, but now he felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit after being smelled by this strange smell.
Touching a small object as hard as stone, Bai Ke pulled it out and opened his hand to reveal a blue-purple crystal the size of a fingernail.
This is the magic stone in the monster's body. As the magic stone leaves the body, the monster in front of Bai Ke gradually collapses and turns into a handful of dust.
The flesh, bones, and fur all turned into dust and disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground to prove its existence.
Looking at the magical scene in front of him, Bai Ke was a little amazed. He wondered what kind of magical power this small piece of magic stone had that it could become the core of a monster.
It is this tiny magic stone that has created one of Orario's major specialties today, and the various tools made from it are now popular in every corner of the city.
Examples of magic stone creations: magic stone lamps and magic stone stoves.
Although he had doubts in his mind, Bai Ke did not delve into it. This was not something he could figure out right now. He turned his attention to the other monster corpses and began to dissect them to take out the magic stone.
However, he diverted some of his attention to listen to the movements around him. This distraction made his already unskilled dissection work even slower.
Bai Ke spent some time collecting the magic stones, during which time no monsters attacked. Apparently the novice floor was worthy of being a novice floor, as the monster refresh time was too long.
What made Bai Ke feel a little regretful was that none of the four kobolds dropped any 'items'.
'Props' can also be called 'materials'. Some special parts of monsters are enhanced by magic, and even after death and turning into dust, these parts will be preserved.
This is the origin of props. Usually the price of props is several times higher than the magic stones of the monster itself.
Xianxun: The descendants of the Sarkozy family are still alive and well
After collecting the magic stones, Bai Ke immediately left the passage. After walking quickly for a while, the front suddenly became clear and a cave room came into view.
The 'cave room' is a huge space in the maze, which is basically connected to two or more passages. It is also an excellent place to rest. You don't have to worry about a monster suddenly hatching from behind you when you are leaning against the wall to rest.
In this cave room which was about ten meters long and wide, and four or five meters high, Bai Ke walked directly to the center and sat down, then looked around alertly for a moment.
Seeing that there was no movement around, Bai Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
At this moment, Bai Ke recalled the battle scene just now. He couldn't help but savor it carefully, looking for the shortcomings in it.
In the first battle against a monster, Bai Ke’s performance was remarkable. The battle ended neatly and without any major negligence.
However, there are still some disadvantages.
First of all, he was distracted by the system task. Being distracted during a battle is a big taboo, and Bai Ke secretly remembered this lesson.
When a mission is triggered during a battle in the future, you must not be distracted to check it. Between the mission and your life, your life is more important and you must not be distracted by it.
Secondly, it was his old problem now, his mind and strength were completely mismatched, and his skills and strength were not fully utilized.
The first time he swung his sword at the enemy, the force was too great, and he subconsciously burst out with all his strength to chop off the kobold's head. This burst of force was a waste of energy.
You must know that saving physical energy is the top priority in the dungeon. If you are not careful, you will be dragged to death by the endless hordes of monsters due to excessive consumption.
You could have killed the monster with a low-cost attack like cutting the throat, but it's inevitable that you'll make mistakes the first time, so just remember this lesson.
With powerful abilities and skilled techniques, a qualified user can make the sum of one plus one greater than two, while an unqualified user can only make the sum of one plus one less than two.
Now Bai Ke is ranked among the unqualified ones.
However, he is working hard to qualify, which is also the purpose of his coming to the dungeon, to hone himself through battles so that he can master his current strength.
Bai Ke summed up the gains and losses of this battle, drew useful experience from it, kept it in mind, and tried hard not to make mistakes in the next battle.
After summing up the gains and losses, Bai Ke stood up and walked deeper into the route. He was going to continue looking for monsters, honing himself, and completing tasks.
ps: The monster settings are based on the original novel.
Chapter 19: Return
One seventeen.
At this moment, in the middle of a cave room on the first floor of the dungeon, Bai Ke took out a pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the time. Feeling the hunger in his stomach, he put the pocket watch back, opened his waist bag, and took out a lunch box.
Inside was the food that Bai Ke had prepared this morning. He stretched out his hand to start eating, but suddenly his hand stopped in mid-air.
Bai Ke stared at the dried and coagulated blood on his hands, thought for a while, rubbed his hands together, and then patted them. After this operation, his hands suddenly became much cleaner.
Although it is impossible to make your hands very clean by doing this, there must be a sense of ritual in life. If you don't have the conditions to wash your hands, you can still make them cleaner.
When I opened the lunch box, I saw six meatballs neatly arranged inside. Each one was slightly larger than an egg, filling up the entire space in the box.
He picked one up and put it in his mouth. As he chewed, Bai Ke suddenly felt a strange taste, a mixture of sweet, salty and other food flavors, spreading in his mouth.
Bai Ke ate the food with an expressionless face. How could he have a good expression when eating such dark food? That would be really weird.
After finishing the mixed meatballs, Bai Ke finished his lunch. After putting the box into his waist bag, he stood up and started to return along the original route according to the map of the regular route.
The reason why Bai Ke returned the same way was because there were too few monsters along this route, except for the "welcome ceremony" he encountered when he first arrived here.
In the next few hours, he only encountered two goblins, both of whom he killed with one sword.
During this period, he also met some adventurers, who were new adventurers like him. However, he did not interfere with them and just passed by each other.
This regular route is indeed a remote area with fewer monsters, and there are more adventurers than monsters.
